Ok so, i've been thinking about this for a while, but I think i've found a way around all the problems with writing this book that I want to write to help others.... so i'm thinking about using a psudoname and changing the names of everyone involved.... that way no one is incriminated.... but writing about that fact in an authors note or forward or something like that telling the readers that this is based on a true story that happened to me, but I have changed all names including my name to protect everyone involved. If anyone knows about anything like this, if you could give me input it would be greatly appreciated........ as well, i've also been thinking about getting with some sort of psychology providers and offering interviews/trainings for their therapists and stuff that way they have better more hands on knowledge about DID and will be able to find signs earlier and be able to treat them more effectively.... you know how some psychologists and therapists say they are “specialized” in DID but they really aren't, I want to help all psychologists in my area be able to learn about it and be able to say ok... that helps cause when I was in the hospital no one in there even had an idea.... the pdocs that I talked to in there were all like so you are like one of a kind in the state of indiana and I kindda snickered the dr said what you don't believe that and I was like no I don't they said so you think this disorder is more widespread that what the medical field believes and I was like yeah I do.... and mentioned talking to people from all over the world that experience and show signs of it and it's more than all the statistics that i've seen.... they were like ok.... and also while I was in the hospital I talked to one of the nurses a lot he was very interested in what it was like to be DID and wanted know about it and stuff so I offered him lessons while I was in the hospital it was amazing therapy for us to inform people about what it's like and I think that more of us (people with DID) need to take the initiative to inform the public about this disorder since its almost taboo like and whenever you mention it people think of Sybill.... eugh I hate being compared to that.... Sybill was a very exaggerated case of DID in my opinion.... but anyway if anyone has any ideas drop me a line I accept pms as well if you'd rather not leave what you want to say on the forum.... everyone is welcome to drop a line... and leave me their opinions, thoughts, etc.....
